Mr.. M s. uamlin, one of the best known
Insurance men in North Carolina, writes
from Winston, as follows: Ever since
was seven years of age have had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. Ny hip was drawn
out Of place. There was swelling at the
knee-joint, where there is profuse run
ming, which has been there for years. Of
course this has greatly depleted my sys-
TEN, together with surgical operation on
the leg bone tried every known blood
purifier to build up my system, but none
did me good until took S. S. s. l use it
every spring. 1t always builds me up,
giving me appetite and digestion, and ena-
bles me to stand the long, trying, ener-
waiting hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for purifying the blood
and building up the wasted system as
S. S. S. On using it soon became strong
of body and easy of mind. Ny color
changed from a pale, worn look to 9
healthy, robust complexion.
Mr. G.. N. Frizzel, of Farmersville,
Texas, writes: About August LIST, 1865,
an eruption appeared on my arms and
legs, which panied me much and seemed
to affect my physical condition generally.

Almost a Fire,

The first of the week there came near be.
ing a blaze at Pizen Switch. The floor in
the saloon and lodging house owned by
Sheriff Brann and leased to Mrs. Parker and
AL. Cummings caught fire and was discover
ed just in time to prevent serious conaagra-
ton. The ssloen part Of the building had
been closed about the usual time on the ev.
enlng spoken Of, about IL o'clock, and early
in the morning the roomers overhead noticed
that the house was full of smoke. About
the same time the bartender came around to
FIRE up and found the floor around the stove
in blaze and that portion Of it under the
stove burned through and the stove itself
fallen to the ground. A few buckets Of
water put cut the FIRE, which if it had had
another hour to burn would probably have
destroyed the greater portion of the town.
1t is net known exactly how the fire origi-
mated, but the supposition is that it caught
from cigar stub or coal from the stove
falling into the sawdust on the floor. This
is another warning for the people of that
town to provide some means of subduing fires.

Esnieralda Items.

The following items Of interest were taken
from the Walker Lake BULLETIN of last
Wednesday:
1t is reported that the Blue Light Copper
Company will resume work in a short time.
The Kinkead mines are locking we'll and
the miners Of that district are looking for a
good bullion year.
A shipment of ore was made a few days
ago from the San Lucas mine at Cerro Gordo
The ore was estimated to be worth SI2o per
ton The shipment was made by Manuel
Diaz.
w. G. Wilkigson came in from the Star
mine last Monday. He reports the new
shaft now down thirty.fve feet with an i'm
provement in the ore that is uncovered
There will be shipment made on Saturday
Of a lot Of ore that will yield about $500 a
ton. Timber for within will be taken out
today and the work which is now carried
on by means Of a wind. lass will be consid-
erably facilitated. On account of the good
indications in the shaft, Stopping has been
discontinued and all efforts will be confined
to sinking for some time to come, as it is ex-
pected that enough good rock to pay expenses
can be taken out.

Girls Analytically Considered {.

Girls are Of few days and full Of mischief
and whatsoever is deceived thereby is not
wise.
When the fair young girl cheweth her gum
with greater haste and stampeth her pretty
foot, do thou look cut.
She cometh out in the evening in low neck
and shert sleeves, but at morning she lieth
in bed while her mother hustleth.
When the sleigh bell tinkleth, she stand
eth at the window and yearneth for a beau,
and when ne cometh she doeth up his purse.
He wrappeth the buffalo about her and hug
geth her much and stayeth out beyond his
time, and the liveryman addeth four good
dollars to his bill.
In the evening he hieth himself away to
her fathers mansion. He goeth in and sit
teth by the fire, and ere he leaveth he pop
peth the question and she jumpeth at the
chance. When the cock croweth he taketh
his departure, and when he remembereth the
smallness of his salary he kicketh himself
and compareth himself to an ass; yea, verify.

The Ball.

The dance given at Odeon Hall last Fri
day evening by the Elite Brass Band OF this
place was very well attended indeed, every
body turned out to have good time and
help the boys along. There were not very
many outsiders present but the home people
made up for this. The music was excellent
for brass band, the only fault we heard
found being the loudness of it for square
dances. This is the case with all brass music
for dances. The boys are improving won
derfully and keep excellent time for waltzes,
etc. At IL o'clock supper was served at the
Union Hotel after which the dancers again
made merry IN the hall until about o'clock
Saturday morning. The affair was a fnan.
cial as we'll as social success, and the boys
feel grateful to think the people appreciated
their efforts enough to give them large at
tendance.

COpDer.

Within the past thirty days the price OF
copper has almost doubled. The copper
mining industry used to be quite great one
in this State until the price of copper fell so
lew that it would not pay to mine it. Now
that it is worth something there may be a
renewal OF business in this line. In Lyon
county there are some very excellent mines
of this ore. The Ludwig copper mine, in
Mason Valley has yielded tons on tons of
copper, and there is yet much more in sight,
while the mines owned by Jack Mcconnell,
and J. &. Kaufman, of the same place are
showing very coed lodges Of ore. We should
not be surprised to see them all extensively
worked soon if the price of the metal keeps
where it Cow is.

BRIEF MENTION.
A Happy New Year to all.

A Happy New Year to all.
Christmas was very quiet day in Dayton.
Friday.
AL Cummings was in from the Valley the
first Of the week.
Miss Mabel French, who teaches the Wa.
buska school, spent the holidays with her
parents in Carson.
Many Of our subscribers are in arrears.
1t would oblige US greatly to have them
square up to the first Of the year.
According to the ENTERPRISE the Boss pro-
cess of amalgamation as worked in the new
California mill, is complete success.
Bob Daniels shot two deer in the Como
hills just after the storm. The storm has
brought the deer low down in the hills.
You can get fresh dairy butter, eggs, pork,
poultry, wheat, etc., by sending to E. P.
Lovejoy at Wabuska. Prices reasonable.
T. M. TenEyck, of Pine Grove, was in
town last Saturday with a load Of fine fat
pork. His pork brought 81 cents per pound.
Transfers who came in from Como and
Pinenut last Thursday had to leave their
loads on the way and come in empty or on
horseback. The snow in Como is reported
from two to four feet deep.
John Lothrop has his new store neatly ar.
ranged. We believe it is much better
building for his purpose than the old one on
Main street, although it is a little out of the
way. Pike street is looming up.
E. C. Smith, Mrs. Bewley, Mrs. Collins and
another lady friend Of Smiths are reported
to be in Los Angeles. Smith, it is said is
there on business connected with the Nor.
mon Church, and will endeavor to found q
Mormon colony in that country.
The Ida Mining Company has completed
lis incorporation. The principal place Of
business is Dayton. The following officers
have been elected: VIM. Kean, President
and Tseasurer; J. c. Hazlett, Secretary; B.
l. Truman, Vice President; John Briggs, w.

Chicken thieves are around again. Last
Sunday evening they entered George Bar.
tons chicken house, which stands Just be.
hind his stable, and stole eight out of the
fifteen fowls therein. The entrance was
gained by pulling out the staple through
which the lock was fastened. The night
was dark and windy one, altogether favor
able for thieves. A watch should be set for
the party or parties who are doing the petty
thieving about town, and if caught they
should be summarily dealt with. They
would probably want jury trial, however,
and what juryman would convict a man fer
stealing SO small thing as chicken, when
juries turn murderers, arssnists, horse and
jackass thieves loose1
